What Is Fashion Jewellery?

December 21, 2022 by Colonial Acres Coins

If you’re a jewellery enthusiast, it’s important to understand the difference between fashion and fine varieties. While many people think that costume and fashion jewellery are synonymous, this is not entirely true. The definition of costume jewellery is inexpensive jewellery made of fake gemstones and inexpensive metals, and fashion jewellery is much higher in quality. Fine jewellery is similar in composition, but it is usually reserved for special occasions. There are many pieces of fine or fashion vintage jewellery to choose from at Colonial Acres Coins and here is some tips to tell the difference between fine and fashion jewellery in Canada.

What Is Fine Jewellery?

Fine jewellery is more high-quality pieces that are made out of precious materials like gems and natural stones. The most common way to identify when something is fine jewellery is to think of purpose; in general, fine jewellery is statement pieces that are suitable for special occasions. Pieces such as diamond earrings, pearl necklaces, tennis bracelets or engagement rings fall into this category.

What Is Fashion Jewellery?

Fashion jewellery is a vast category. There are some pieces of fashion jewellery that are made mostly of inexpensive metals and only coated with gold or silver to make them appear higher in quality. Other pieces of fashion jewellery are made of precious metals, making them inherently valuable.

Because there are so many types of fashion jewellery, it’s difficult to pinpoint an exact definition. However, fashion jewellery is typically pieces made of non-precious and inexpensive metals like copper or brass. This jewellery is designed to be worn every day for any occasion, so while fine jewellery has a classic design to make it timeless, fashion jewellery follows the latest trends. You can wear fashion jewellery to dress up any outfit in a stylish manner.

Fashion jewellery comes in a wide variety of types and styles. Many pieces of fashion jewellery are made of nickel and coated with gold or silver. This makes fashion jewellery more affordable than fine jewellery, but an estimated 20% of the population is allergic to nickel. If you fall into this category, you should opt for fashion jewellery made out of stainless steel.

Where Can You Find Vintage Fashion Jewellery?

Fashion jewellery is common. You can find it in most department stores, but the selection is often limited based on current trends and upcoming holidays. If you want to browse a large inventory of fashion jewellery, turn to Colonial Acres Coins.
